We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"It's very, very fast"
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
